……书是《卡拉马佐夫兄弟》。非常棒的一本书，有着深刻的人性与哲学视角。这是我读陀思妥耶夫斯基的最后一本书，也是继《罪与罚》之后他最棒的作品。目前我正在读品钦的《反抗白昼》（Against the Day）。也非常精彩，比起《万有引力之虹》简直太太太好读了。对新手来说这可能是进入品钦宇宙的一个不错起点。祝大家年底玩得开心
…book is the brothers karamazov. An excellent book with a deeply human and philosophical viewpoint. This is the last bool I read from dostojewski and after crime and punishment his best work. Atm I read „against the day“ from pynchon. Also very excellent and compared to gravitys rainbow sooo easy to read. That could be a good start to the pynchon universe for beginners. Whish you all a good time at the end of the yeat
Pynchon writes two distinct types of novels. V., Gravity's Rainbow, Mason & Dixon, and Against the Day are is big (literally) complexly plotted novels that frequently involve hundreds of characters and huge forces of history. They are my favorites, but they require serious commitment and even then can…
附议。我很惊讶这个帖子里品钦的书居然不多。《葡萄地》（Vineland）读起来轻松又幽默。如果你想正面硬刚品钦，我极力推荐《反抗白昼》（Against the Day）。
Seconded. I am surprised that there are not more of Pynchon's books in this thread. 'Vineland' is an easy, humorous read. If you want to take Pynchon head on, I can't recommend 'Against the day' too much.
A little off topic, but Iceland Spar features prominently in Pynchon's "Against the Day"[1]. It is a pretty amazing book that might appeal to this audience. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Against_the_Day#Doubling
Some authors and a rec or two for each. DFW - Infinite Jest Pynchon - Really anything, but in particular Against the Day, V, and Gravity's Rainbow. Rushdie - Shame and Satanic Verses, a lot of good other ones. Neal Stephenson - Cryptonomicon Gaddis - JR, hence my name. Heller - Catch-22
In my search for more works like the Baroque Cycle, I was led to Thomas Pynchon, who's writing far surpass that of Stephenson (in my opinion). In particular, Against the Day, Gravity's Rainbow, and Mason & Dixon. They are all historical fiction of sorts, with long detailed excursions into well researched nooks and crannies of history. Pynchon's writing is sublime once you…

品钦写的两类小说风格截然不同。《V.》、《万有引力之虹》、《梅森和狄克逊》还有《反抗白昼》都是字面意义上大部头、情节极其复杂的小说，动辄牵扯数百个角色和宏大的历史力量。它们是我的最爱，但读起来需要巨大的投入，即便如此也可能……

稍微有点跑题，但冰洲石（Iceland Spar）在品钦的《反抗白昼》[1]里戏份很重。这是一本相当惊艳的书，这里的读者可能会感兴趣。[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Against_the_Day#Doubling

分享几位作家和各自的一两本推荐。DFW——《无尽的玩笑》（Infinite Jest）；品钦——其实他的书都行，但特别是《反抗白昼》、《V.》和《万有引力之虹》；拉什迪——《耻》和《撒旦诗篇》，其他好书也很多；Neal Stephenson——《编码宝典》（Cryptonomicon）；加迪斯——《J R》，这也是我名字的由来；海勒——《第二十二条军规》

在寻找更多类似《巴洛克三部曲》（Baroque Cycle）的作品时，有人给我引荐了托马斯·品钦，他的写作水准远超 Stephenson（个人观点）。尤其是《反抗白昼》、《万有引力之虹》和《梅森和狄克逊》。它们都算某种历史小说，用了大量篇幅详尽探索经过深入考证的历史隐秘角落。一旦你……，品钦的文字简直绝妙
